The Figtree Difference
Your mental health is complex. From your DNA to your diet, several factors impact the way you think and feel from one day to the next. When you feel bad mentally, you need a plan that will find and target the source of the problem.
At Figtree, we understand the complex nature of mental illness. We believe that every person is unique and deserves a treatment plan as unique as they are, targeting the problem, not just the symptom. We take the time to explore every aspect of your mental health and use a team based approach to create a realistic and effective treatment plan.
About Figtree Mental Health: What Is Telehealth?
Telehealth is the delivery of mental health services using telecommunication technologies such as video conferencing, audio-visual communication, streaming media, and other internet-based tools. This allows for virtual appointments with mental health providers, which are often just as effective as seeing someone in person. The provider can review your medical history and current symptoms, evaluate them together, provide treatment options, and monitor progress without ever having to be in the same room as you. This method of mental health treatment is becoming increasingly popular due to its convenience, flexibility, and affordability. It also helps remove potential barriers, such as lack of transportation or childcare, that may prevent people from seeking treatment.
About Figtree Mental Health: Is Telehealth Effective?
Telehealth services are increasingly common across all sectors of medicine, fostered in large part by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many industries had to adopt some form of remote or virtual business model, and healthcare was no different. Fortunately, mental health services are especially well-suited to a telehealth model of delivery, as these studies indicate:
- According to a survey conducted by American Well, the use of telehealth services increased from 11% in 2019 to 45% in 2020.
- The same survey found that 65% of Americans believe that telehealth provides an improved healthcare experience.
- A study published by JAMA Network Open found that 83% of patients who had used virtual mental health care reported satisfaction with their experiences.
- Another study conducted by Health Affairs revealed that 82% of psychiatrists intend to continue using videoconferencing after the pandemic ends, while 68% plan on offering more sessions via video than they did pre-pandemic.
The measurable effectiveness of patient outcomes coupled with convenience means telehealth mental health services are here to stay. Figtree Mental Health is proud to provide telehealth services to the residents of Utah.
